Another day working on wheels (details omitted).
Continuing from last time.
I'm rebuilding the front wheel that was assembled with an XR361 rim.
32H, all-black Comp spokes in crossed pattern.
Like the rear wheel, it uses an M9000 series XTR hub
and currently has a quick-release setup, but
I'm converting it to a 100×15mm thru-axle HB-M9010
by mounting an aftermarket adapter
to convert it to quick-release specification.
Like the rear wheel, it's perfectly centered with virtually no runout,
and the spoke tension is well-balanced.
It's not as tight as the rear wheel,
but it definitely exceeds the threshold of being a proper wheel.
I disassembled it.
The six black Comp spokes on the rotor mount side (left side)
I'll cut down to 4-spoke length and reuse them.
Built it up.
HB-M9010, 32H, black half-Comp spokes in 4-cross Italian weave pattern.
I'll do the spoke wrapping later.
I've pulled out the adapter that converts it to quick-release
because of work procedure.
Last time I mentioned not using straight-pull spokes on the left side of disc brake front wheel hubs,
but since there's no problem if the brake caliper isn't SRAM,
and prioritizing the use of good Comp spokes, I went with half-Comp this time.
